My research focuses on One Health-driven investigations of zoonotic and transboundary animal diseases, and animal-origin food safety, with emphasis on disease epidemiology, risk factor assessment, transmission dynamics, occupational health risks among livestock and food handlers, and the development of innovative molecular diagnostic tools. I work towards generating evidence-based solutions for disease surveillance, prevention, and control through integrated epidemiological and technological approaches, particularly in Northeastern India. I obtained my M.V.Sc. and Ph.D. from the ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute (ICAR-IVRI) and was an ICMR–DHR International Fellow at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, USA.
